Lunch Pail

Anybody who's anybody knows that "the lunch pail" is Bud Foster's calling card - a symbol of the blue collar, workmanlike mentality that typifies his defense.

Soon it will be featured on College Gameday.

For those of you who haven't seen the clever commercials promoting the premiere college football matchup pregame bonanza, they usually have Chris, Lee and Kirk doing something and asking "True or False."

The campaign’s new commercial spot “Virginia Tech Lunch Pail” will begin running Monday, Oct. 13 on ESPN, and features the GameDay crew eating lunch alongside a metal lunch pail decorated with the letters ‘VT'.

After Chris asks Kirk where he got the lunch pail and Kirk says he found it on the sideline at a game in Blacksburg, GameDay ask fans, “Virginia Tech keeps a lunch pail on the sideline at all home games. True or False?” Fans can then vote, see a video response with the correct answer and view additional content about that week’s big match-ups at www.collegegameday.com.

College GameDay Built by The Home Depot (Saturdays at 10 a.m. ET on ESPN) will originate from Dallas this Saturday, site of the Red River Shootout pitting undefeated No. 1 Oklahoma against Big 12 rival and unbeaten No. 5 Texas (televised on ABC at noon ET).
